SHORTLY Anaheim Council Anxious To Proceed With Municipal Plant The city councils of Anaheim and Fullerton will meet jointly at the local city hall next Wednesday evening to consider the suggestions that the two cities unite in construction of electric and water plants. Acting City Manager Paul D. Pratt of Fullerton was informed today by City Manager J. W. Price of Anaheim that the local council in a special adjourned session Thursday evening had agreed to extend the invitation to the Fullerton council which meets in regular session next Tuesday evening. While City Atty. Wm. Webb has been unable to find a way in the present law to permit a joint municipal electric plant, the conference is expected to find both councils in a mood to go ahead with the consolidated power and water plants even if it is necessary to go before the legislature for a special enabling act. The law now permits joint municipal ownership and operation of water plants, as well as joint sewer systems. "It seems folly that two cities like Anaheim and Fullerton in such close proximity and with interests so closely intertwined, should erect duplicate power and water plants with resultant doubling of overhead," declared City Manager Price today. "There would be no added problems of operation in combined power or water plants. It would simply be a matter of bookkeeping. And now is the time to inaugurate such a combination, when both cities are starting new power plants. It was authoritatively stated today that no matter what the outcome of the conference on the consolidation, Anaheim council is determined to go ahead with the calling of a bond issue for its own municipal plant at least. The only delay now is to ascertain the amount voters will be asked to approve. It was stated today council plans to ask for no more than the estimated cost of an adequate plant and that bonds will be sold only as the funds are needed. This was the policy followed with the outfall sewer. Contracts were awarded for less than estimated cost. As a result, some of the bonds have never been sold, saving taxpayers interest and indebtedness.

Hours per week work- MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York, July 5.—The Democratic national convention resorted to arbitration shortly after taking 77 ballots in a futile effort to nominate a presidential candidate late today. Senator King, of Utah, immediately moved an adjournment until 11 a.m. Monday. There was vigorous objection, but Walsh finally ruled the adjournment motion had passed. At the conclusion of a hetic day, which had witnessed efforts to move the convention to Kansas City and seen three efforts to narrow the field of candidates down by elimination fall by vote from the floor, a number of the leaders got together in the middle of the afternoon and reported out a resolution which provided in effect that Cordell Hull, chairman of the national committee, and Thomas J. Walsh, prominent chairman of the convention, be appointed a committee of two to consult the representatives of all the candidates and try to reach an understanding which will hasten the conclusion of this convention. The resolution follows: "I move that when this convention adjourns today the chairman of the Democratic national committee and the chairman of this convention be requested to call a conference of the representatives of the candidates whose names are now being ballot for and who have been formally presented for the purpose of reaching an understanding so as to hasten the conclusion of this convention." It was adopted with only a few voices in opposition. Immediately after this was adopted the convention adjourned until 11 a.m. Monday. Conferences under the platform among the leaders grew larger as the weary balloting proceeded above stairs. Members of the national committee were called in and a suggestion was entertained that the committee itself take charge of the proceedings, call the members and representatives of all candidates before it and work out a program or schedule of elimination or effect any other kind of an agreement possible among the factions—in an effort to bring the convention to an end by Monday.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York, July 5.—The Democratic national convention today voted down its resolution designed to narrow its history-making fight to two men.

He proposed the favorite son obtaining the lowest number of votes on each ballot after the 72nd be dropped until they finally were all eliminated but two men and the choice be then made of one of these two. This inevitably would have narrowed down to McAdoo and Governor Al Smith, as demanded by McAdoo in a speech yesterday. The Oklahomaoman, with the sanction of the McAdoo leaders, moved at the end of the 72nd ballot to suspend the rules and adopt his resolution. Chairman Walsh called for the "ayes" and "nos" and the "nos" won with a booming volume of objection. Cordell Hull, chairman of the national committee was doing quiet missionary work among the favorite sons today in an effort to work out a compromise. West Virginia backers of John W. Davig are understood to hold Hull they were wilt-way riffle their cannery judgment members.
